Abstract excerpt
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) is a multifunctional receptor involved in numerous biological processes relevant to vascular biology including lipoprotein metabolism. Several polymorphisms in the LRP gene have been described and in this study we examined their influence on coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared the frequencies of the exon 3 (C766T), exon 6 (C663T), exon 22...
